Typical hazards & measures
- Toilets and corridors — Keep corridors lit and clear, apply two-adult visibility where possible, and avoid leaders accompanying one youth alone. Check toilets are clean and free of hazards before sessions.
- Emergency communication — Ensure a charged mobile phone is available, keep parent contacts accessible, and designate a leader for emergency liaison. Share address and postcode of venue with team for emergency services use.
- Arrival and departure at venue — Provide lighting at entrances, position leaders to welcome and supervise, keep doors clear, and monitor traffic areas during drop-off/pick-up. Record attendance and ensure no one leaves unaccompanied without prior consent.
- Behaviour issues / conflict — Agree group rules at start, promote respect, and train leaders in de-escalation. Record incidents and debrief with safeguarding lead if needed. Provide a supervised quiet space for time out.
- Trips/falls indoors — Mop wet floors, secure cables, tidy clutter, and check lighting. Place mats at entrances in wet weather, and keep walkways clear of chairs or bags. Inspect floors before sessions.
